Purpose and fitment

The presented casing is dedicated to the right external mirror in the BMW 1 Series E87 LCI (facelift) model. The component's design is prepared for factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in place of a damaged or worn cover. Thanks to the preservation of the original geometry, the casing works perfectly with the stock mirror glass and adjustment mechanism.

Color and finish

The casing is finished in Spacegrau Metallic - A52, characteristic of many BMW E87 LCI units. The metallic paint coating ensures visual consistency with the bodywork, reducing the need for additional painting if the shade is a good match. This is a particularly beneficial solution for repairs where a quick return to the car's aesthetic appearance is a priority.

Functional characteristics

As a component from the External mirrors category, the casing serves a protective function for the mirror glass and the adjustment mechanism, shielding them from weather conditions and minor mechanical damage. The used nature of the part allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original origin of the component. Installation is carried out using standard clips and mounting points provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

Benefits of using an original casing

Using a factory mirror casing in a BMW E87 LCI allows for maintaining proper fitment of body elements and the correct side line of the car. The original geometry reduces the risk of improper adhesion to the mirror base, which could cause unwanted vibrations or wind noise while driving. This is a practical solution for users who want to restore the vehicle to a factory-like condition without investing in new components.
